Here is the last round review presented by Job Market.

Fifth-ranked FC Barcelona (15-11) made lots of trouble for first ranked Real Madrid (22-4) on Sunday. The visitors from Madrid managed to secure only two-point victory

91-89. However their fans expected much easier game. It ended at the same time the three-game winning streak of FC Barcelona. The best player for the winners was naturalized Cape Verdean center Walter Tavares (220-1992) who had a double-double by scoring 15 points and 10 rebounds. Bosnian swingman Dzanan Musa (205-1999) chipped in 15 points and 6 assists. American-Serbian Kevin Punter (193-1993, college: Tennessee) produced 19 points for the hosts. Both coaches used bench players in such tough game. Real Madrid have an impressive 14-game winning streak. Defending champion maintains first position with 22-4 record. Barca at the other side keeps the fifth place with 11 games lost. They share the position with Joventut. Real Madrid are looking forward to face league's second-placed Tenerife on the road in the next round and it will be for sure the game of the week. Barca will play against Granada and is hoping to prove to their fans that this time they can win.
Very important is a home loss of third ranked Valencia (19-7) against tenth ranked UCAM (12-14) on Saturday night. Host Valencia was defeated by UCAM in Valencia 86-71.

American-Ivorian power forward Matt Costello (208-1993, college: Michigan St.) replied with 16 points and 5 rebounds for Valencia. Both coaches tested many bench players which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. Murcia maintains tenth position with 12-14 record. Valencia at the other side keeps the third place with seven games lost. Murcia will play against higher ranked Baskonia (#9) in Vitoria in the next round and it may be quite challenging game. Valencia will play at home against Unicaja (#4) and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
